In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Fourth spot is yours.
Thank feck that is finally over with. Play the deadwood/kids for the remaining league games and put everything in to the EL.
I hope if it comes to it Everton roll over like we did against City that time
Can you imagine SAF gifting top 4 to Liverpool like Jose has?
Indeed the pressure will be on, and Arsenal have a traditional late surge this time of year. Luckily for you, you have the luxury of deciding your own fate. Win both your games and your place is secure.
A good weekend for City, no excuses not to get there now. Fear Leicester after our last 3 meetings but arguably can lose that & still get top 4.
Surely Arsenal can't sneak it...

I dont think Fergie would have done much better with the current squad we have.
Fortunately that West Ham game should suit you with it being their last home match of the season and likely coming right at you.
Then a home match against Middlesbrough to finish things off should be a banker.
Don't forget also that Arsenal don't get a single mid-week break from now on.
I hope Arsenal do it from here just as it'll mean one of City or Liverpool miss out
So we draw to ensure its back in our hands. Weird day off football.
Fergie wouldn't have given a shit about Liverpool getting 'top 4'. Stop treating it like it's a major honour for god sake!
Still a long way to go. We have Saints and Stoke up next. They are always difficult for us.
I f*kin hate arsenal with a passion, them and their w*nker fans. I hope they miss out on the top 4 and I hope half of their team quits in the summer. Team full of players with no balls.
Rather see Arsenal than Liverpool or City in the CL. Plus, it would most likely cement Wenger staying.
Only concern is if they manage to keep Sanchez, but i think he will go no matter what.

The top four is set. On to the EL.
If United finish 5 and wins the Europa, does 6th and 7th get Europa league places next season?
Feels weird saying this but I'd actually rather Liverpool get top 4 than Arsenal. This is on the admittedly preconceived notion that missing out on top 4 will hurt Arsenal more than it would Liverpool.
No, in that scenario the side finishing 13th gets the Europa spot because 6+7=13.
Just checked the table and we need to win just one game and draw the other to force Arsenal to win all four of their's. Makes that point at Southampton look a lot better than zero points.
If we win one and lose the other then Arsenal can afford to draw one of their remaining fixtures but have to make up the goal difference and maybe even goals scored for.
Arsenal can't afford to lose. All barring any brain farts from either team of course

Arsenal will probably finish 5th and I can't see any chance of Liverpool or City bottling it.
The league will probably end with this :
Chelsea
Spurs
City
Liverpool
Arsenal
United

Again just checking the table, Everton mathematically can't overtake Utd so 6th is confirmed. The curse.
Yeah, for sure. We will probably just fall short.
If Arsenal can somehow win the next 2, Liverpool will be under all sorts of pressure away at West Ham...
We are up against two teams we usually struggle a lot. Saints away should be easier though.
If we win EL I'll take it, but if we don't then I'll cry.Again just checking the table, Everton mathematically can't overtake Utd so 6th is confirmed. The curse.
Anyway, you are smiling like it will irritate us, but honestly mate if we win the EL who gives a feck? We would have had a better season than you lot, a season you would most definitely swap for you 4th place finish and the chance to enter the CL through qualification. Imagine that, two trophies, and a spot in the CL being bantered by the 4th place team not yet qualified for the CL.
anyway, what has happened to Treble_Winning? he'd still be saying 3rd should be the goal
We ain't dead yet.
Just need West Ham to beat Liverpool and Arsenal to draw against either Southampton or Stoke away to be back in the mix. Not terribly unrealistic.

Apart from we would have to beat Spurs.
Would be funny if us giving up on top 4 allows Arsenal to sneak into top 4 at the expense of Liverpool, and then Wenger renews.
And then we win the EL so we get CL anyways.
Would be the perfect play, lol

I hope Everton decide to roll over for Arsenal on the last day just to deny Liverpool CL football
I think 2 more years is a formality anyway, but i think United & Arsenal have outbottled Liverpool and they'll fall over the line for 4th.
If they had the chance they would probably do so
Ah, that.
Who will more than likely have the wind kicked out of them with absolutely nothing left to play for.
Neverton always roll over anyway - guaranteed 3 points for Arse there.
Ah, that.
Which we already have..
